Clinical characteristics and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention in octogenarians: real-world data from nationwide Thai PCI registry.
Observational study in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveDue to the growing ageing population worldwide, more percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are being performed on elderly patients; however, current national data in Southeast Asian developing countries regarding patient characteristics, procedural details and PCI outcomes in elderly patients are insufficient.
designObservational study.
settingNationwide registry from 39 primary PCI facilities across Thailand.
participantsBetween May 2018 and August 2019, the Thai PCI registry enrolled a total of 22 741 patients who underwent PCI. We examined patient characteristics, PCI technique and in-hospital outcomes in octogenarians (≥80 years) and non-octogenarians (18-79 years).
resultsThere were 2099 patients (9.2%) over the age of 80. Octogenarians were at greater risk for atherosclerosis and calcified coronary lesions that required plaque modification and a higher risk of cardiogenic shock during presentation than non-octogenarians. The success rate of PCI in octogenarians was high (95.5%) and comparable to non-octogenarians (96%). The respective PCI failure rate in non-octogenarians and octogenarians was 4% and 4.5% (p=0.251). Octogenarians had a substantially greater incidence of periprocedural problems (5.6% vs 4.5%, p=0.011). PCI was linked with more than threefold increase in in-hospital mortality in octogenarians compared with non-octogenarians (7.67% vs 2.3%, p 0.001). Nonetheless, revascularisation with PCI in octogenarians increased the EQ-5D (European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions) score by 15.7 after PCI and before hospital discharge.
conclusionsAccording to the Thai PCI registry, octogenarians had more complicated coronary anatomy, as well as higher procedural complications and mortality than non-octogenarians. Nonetheless, PCI in the octogenarian had a high success rate and potentially improved the patient's quality of life.
